Front Εnd Developer

If you occasionally catch yourself opening inspect mode on a random website you happen to be at the time, fixing the not so pixel perfect UI with some css here and there just to prove yourself right about it and satisfy your perfectionism levels or if you are triggered (in a nasty way) just by hearing the words CORS policy then we have to meet because it sounds like we have so much in common...

We're looking to grow our obsessed (but lovely), with anything digital, family of perfectionists with a new team member. Our goal is to create a team that will rewrite the history of web interfaces and experiences.

Front end never gets boring. A new framework today, a new device (with a new screen ratio or notch) tomorrow, there's always something going on. You need to have an eye for detail and be opinionated about how users interact with technology. It would be great if you also had experience coding interfaces with or without js but we know not everybody has it. We'll consider applications from all experience levels.

We only work with php based frameworks and CMS's and we love Drupal. We code interfaces using twig (if it's a Drupal), plain ol' HTML, CSS, JS and we're doing a lot in React.js lately. We also love micro-animations so expect heavy js coding. Modern front end dev should be proficient in javascript anyway. We follow agile methodologies and of course, git. Code quality is something that we always want to be proud of.

Daily agency life for the front end dev is usually to work on our current projects based on the current sprint. Occasionally you'll get in touch and brainstorm with marketing because beautiful interfaces is one thing, but highly effective ones is what brings home the big smiles. Last but not least we all have lots of coffee and lame jokes from mr galatis.
